Paging Dr. NerdLove

One of the subjects I come back to fairly often is the idea of toxic masculinity. It's something that I personally feel is important to talk about because of how much it directly affects men and makes our lives that much harder and that much worse. However, whenever we talk about masculinity in any form, there is such a regular response from people, in the comments and on twitter and elsewhere, that you can practically set your watch by it: "when are you going to talk about toxic femininity?"

And you know what? Fine. Buckle up folks, 'cuz we're doing this.

Show Highlights:

• Why nobody can agree on a definition of "toxic femininity"
• What we don't understand about toxic masculinity... and how that affects how we see femininity
• Who gets to define what is or isn't toxic behavior
• What are the differences between "toxic" forms of manhood vs. womenhood
• What is the source of toxic femininity

...and so much more.

When we talk about being more attractive to women, we tend to focus on the surface. We talk about how to dress, what to say, how to act. But that's the polish, the sizzle, not the substance. It may get people's attention, but without any substance to back it up, it won't keep it. Your lifestyle is what makes you more interesting and more desirable to women. When you have built the right lifestyle, it will bring women into your life without effort.

Show Highlights:

• Why your looks, your job, your bank account or your style isn't what attracts women
• What we get wrong about attractive lifestyles
• Why most men live empty, boring lives
• How authenticity attracts more attention than "cool"
• How living an attractive lifestyle brings the right women into your life

...and so much more.

When we talk about being attractive, we tend to think of it in terms of being physically good looking. But there's a difference between being good looking and being attractive. People can be stunningly beautiful but have all the sex appeal of a block of wood. Meanwhile there can be people who are ugly as sin and yet have an almost mystical level of sex-appeal.

Being attractive isn't about whether you have abs like whoah or cheekbones that you could cut cheese with. It's not about your skull or your jawline; it's about the way you present yourself and the effort you put in. Attractiveness is about the holistic person and the little changes that make you go from "nice" to "...niiiiiice".

Show Highlights:

• Why physical looks are only a small part of attraction
• The simplest and quickest way to change how you look
• One simple tip for an amazing haircut
• The number one way men kill attraction
• Why most men will never actually improve
